Last updated November 22, 2017

The Supreme court is still validating Indian government’s policy of enforcing Aadhar and making it mandatory everywhere. However, banks like HDFC have already started informing customers about the possible deactivation of banking services after December 31, 2017, if they do not add Aadhar number to their accounts. If you’re an HDFC bank client, you now have the facility to update your Aadhar number online using HDFC netbanking website.
